|| i personally feel there is a reason behind jaune and neo being chosen to fall , but for seperate reasons entirely . still i wouldn't be opposed to some form of manipulative interaction for the sake of the story , but i think their reasonings and endgames should be left seperate to bolster them both as seperate characters !
it's a hc very tall jaune is afraid of short neo. pls don't maim the boi LOL
I've actually thought of real hurties before of Neo manipulating Jaune by using the appearance of Pyrrha- we've seen her using Nora's appearance to her advantage before and it was something brief, so imagine if she had more time to do something with stuff like that.
Maybe try to put him against Team RWBY, although that wouldn't only be fucked up but also difficult, counting with that I can believe Jaune's morals are still high and well, Neo can't speak, so even as Pyrrha it would be hard to communicate all the possible lies.
Jaune already knows what Neo can do with her Semblance. At least the basics of the shapeshifting.
But Neo having the chance to mess up with Jaune or team RWBY? My Neo would definitely try to fuck them up, specially now that she apparently has the possibility of creating 9 better clones (and I'm assuming she can change their appearance later for them to be whatever she wants, like she has done before).
